eldar222 Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 well guys heres the deal, i bought my computer like 4.5-5 years ago and when i bought it, it was the best of the best. spent like 3000dollars on it, now i can sell it for not more than 300-400. this is what i had in it proc AMD Athlon 64 X2 5000+ Processor ADA5000CSBOX - 2.60GHz, 1MB Cache, 1000MHz video card EVGA GeForce 7900 GTX / 512MB GDDR3 (two of them, had an sli going) hard drive Maxtor / Ultra 16 / 500GB / 7200 / 16MB / SATA-300 (two of these, still haven filled up my 1tb) memmory OCZ Dual Channel Gold 2048MB PC6400 DDR2 800MHz Memory (2 x 1024MB) (i bought two of these packs, 4gb memmory in totall) wifi d-link, dont remember the name. can find out if needed motherboard asus, dont remember which one, broke a litlle while ago, but doesnt matter. well now i want to spend some money and make a new computer. i was thinking about buying the mac pro, but the stuff i want in it comes to the total of 10-11 thousand dollars. so i think im better of making it on my own. well this is the question. what should i buy? i dont want to buy new hard drives, because i still havent filled these up, and dont see the point(unless im completely wrong) graphics cards (well they are pretty good working on an sli, so i was thinking about keeping them and adding another 1 or two cards) so i was thinking about a motherboard, that can hold 2 proccessors, ddr3 memmory (i was thinking about around 8+ slots), and 3 or more graphics cards. and i would like to know, would i be able to put hackintosh OS on this computer. by the way, how do 4 graphics cards work together on the mac pro?? is it some sort of 4 way sli? if this is possible to get working on a plain motherboard i would by two more graphics cards and hook them up all together. in conclusion i want, a good motherboard, 2 proccesors, a lot of memmory, graphics upgrade, wifi to work, and all to be competable with hackintosh or mac os. i checked the compatibility of the efi-x chip that goes on the motherboard, and none of the motherboards they work with have what i need.

eldar222 Posted May 5, 2010 Author Share Posted May 5, 2010 yea i read that part, but the problem is the people there have either a laptop which thay want to change the oc on, or they are building their computer from scratch. i want to know what u guys think about the stuff i already have and what you think i should or should not change and what i cant build instead of paying 10k dollars Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
